Learn CW’s Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders to Approve the Business Combination Expected to be
Held on September 30, 2024
Innventure LLC, an enterprise growth engine (“Innventure”), and
Learn CW Investment Corporation, a special purpose acquisition
company (Nasdaq: LCW) (“Learn CW”), today announced that the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has declared effective
the registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the
“Registration Statement”) filed in connection with the previously
announced proposed business combination between Innventure and
Learn CW (the “Business Combination”). Learn CW is sponsored by
CWAM LC Sponsor LLC, an affiliate of Learn Capital, LLC (“Learn
Capital”), and Commonwealth Asset Management, a Los Angeles-based
asset management platform founded in June 2019.
Learn CW expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting of its
shareholders on September 30, 2024 to seek approval of the Business
Combination and certain other related matters. In addition,
Innventure will solicit written consents of its members to approve
the Business Combination and certain other related matters.
“We’re thrilled to reach this critical milestone on our path to
becoming a publicly traded company,” said Bill Haskell, CEO of
Innventure. “We believe this transaction will better position us to
advance our current family of companies and identify new
technologies that can be the foundation for future growth. We look
forward to offering shareholders access to disruptive companies
that we believe offer early-stage economics with late-stage
risk.”
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions
set forth in the business combination agreement (the “BCA”) and
upon closing of the Business Combination, the combined company will
be renamed Innventure, Inc., and its common stock and warrants are
expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker
symbols “INV” and “INVW,” respectively.
Innventure uses operational expertise to take breakthrough
technologies sourced from multinational corporations to market. In
the process, Innventure builds and scales companies around these
technologies using a systematic, quantitative and repeatable
analysis. Innventure has launched three such companies since its
inception: PureCycle Technologies, AeroFlexx and Accelsius.
PureCycle became a publicly traded company in 2021, and Innventure
currently owns less than 2% of PureCycle.
